To Will

We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us.
- Maurice Maeterlinck

When I read that quote earlier today, I did not give it much thought. It seems like one of life's cruel moments because my beloved dog Will was killed tonight. It was Phil's fault, and I am going to be completely bitter and unbearably mean for a little while. I hope I can forgive him and be the kind of person I aspire to be, but right now it seems unlikely.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't think of anything worse that could happen.

I know that it is hard to forgive right now, but there is a quote that I think about when I have a hard time letting go of anger. "Forgiveness is not for the benefit of the injurer; it only truly benefits the injured."

You are in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about Will, friend. I know you've been asking Phil to put up the invisible fence for a while now. I wish I could tell you something that would make you feel better or give you some words of wisdom, but I too would be devestated and horribly angry if I were in your shoes. Sorry. I'm thinking of you.
